Armando Resendiz outworks, stops Jarrett Hurd after nine rounds because of cut
Hurd #Hurd
A new important Mexican fighter has arrived on the scene.
Armando Resendiz stopped Jarrett Hurd after the ninth round of a scheduled 10-round 162-pound fight on the Brandon Figueroa-Mark Magsayo card Saturday in Ontario, California.
The wild, back-and-forth fight was stopped on the advice of the ring doctor because of a deep cut on Hurd’s upper lip.
The relentless Resendiz (14-1, 10 KOs) was well ahead on the cards for an uncomplicated reason: He outworked Hurd (24-3, 16 KOs).
The official judges had Resendiz leading 89-82, 87-84 and 87-84 after nine rounds. Boxing Junkie also had it 89-82 for Resendiz, eight rounds to one.
Hurd had many good moments in the give-and-take war, including a number of eye-catching uppercuts. His 24-year-old opponent simply threw — and landed — more punches than the former unified 154-pound titleholder and was never hurt.
Hurd, who hadn’t fought for 21 months, has now lost three of his last four fights.
